Italian literature is pretty lacking.

Yeah and Moby Dick is the great American novel, Bloom is a god, James Joyce is the best prose writer ever and you should start with the greeks

Calvin short stories is really the best way to go. They are quite easy to read and engaging as well

Reading Buzzati
I setti piani is a marvelous story

Highjacking the thread to ask if anyone knows of similar easy to read literature for German.

Pls no Kafka.

I have no idea if they're good or anything but my school's library has some copies of Valerio Manfredi's historical fiction, e.g. 'Idi di Marzo' e 'Il mio nome è Nessuno'. I plan on reading them at some point, they seem fun and not too difficult.

(Pier Paolo) Pasolini's literature wasn't bad.
His book Ragazzi Di Vita is manageable. I also read a translated copy of Catcher In The Rye when I was learning which was quite amusing.
